May 20 – Preview & prep for next chat on tech tools

As it’s Victoria Day (a national holiday for Queen Vic’s birthday) in Canada, I slept in. Add to this, our other great moderator, Adam Simpson, is ill. End result, no early chat and an unattended later chat today.

Queen Vic using her technology of the day – books and a clock.

Despite this, I started off giving some suggestions on the topic of “What tech is good tech for EAP contexts?” to myself. 😉 Eventually, it became evident I was alone and best save this juicy topic for next time.

So, on June 3, we’ll return to talk about online technology that you use with your students so that everyone can benefit from a whole bunch more tools in their toolbelt (excuse this overused expression–it’s late and I’ve been writing a paper all day long). 🙂

What would be great is if you could compile an informal list of web tools or apps you love using with your EAP students, like Leo Selivan has done here, so the sharing can quickly begin at 9AM & 3PM EST on June 3!
